Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts

The accounts state that the charity reported an overall deficit of £144,256 for the year ended 31 March 2025, resulting in a decrease in unrestricted reserves. The Trustees note that general reserves have been depleted through losses in three of the last four financial years, and the current General Fund covers 3.9 months of operating costs, which is just below the threshold required by their reserves policy. Despite these challenges, the Trustees consider that the current level of reserves provides sufficient cover to allow the business to continue to operate.
